I've made a lot of progress with my project. My mother is a conservator for a family member. She put me in contact with his psychiatrist telling him briefly in a letter about my project. We met and he looked it over and likes it a lot. He is willing to give his clients the assessment so as to help gather data that can be used to validate the assessment. And he is also willing to use it for cognitive behavioral therapy. He is also going to be my advocate in selling it to universities.

He is going to direct his clients to my website http://kimanishorter.tripod.com/ where they can find a link to Obsurvey a website that specializes in surveys. I have turned my test into a survery and put it on there. So he is going to have them take it on there and then he is going to collect data from the results.

you should try to sell your bullshit personality assessment to businesses. There's a whole industry of nonsense like that, ie. Briggs Myers. Why would any shrink want to waste time with pseudo science.

But the MBTI is very intricate, even if it doesn't have any merit (or much merit). I don't see what people get from a three question test of "pick which one you are like" with only three possible answers for everyone in the world.

Like CW, I'd get designer, but I'm neither autistic nor bipolar. What could your assessment do for me? What could it show a psychologist, who undoubtedly already knows this stuff about me from a formal interview? And 90% of those careers you list don't interest me the slightest bit. How can it help me, by just telling me "you're troubled but you have a lot of potential"?
